Clear Aligners

If you are ready to straighten your crooked teeth, we have a time-tested alternative for you! Our orthodontic clear aligners offer the discreet, comfortable treatment, and amazing results you desire for your smile. Drs. Pike & Valega have special training and provide personalized treatment. With your dental and orthodontic care completed at the same office, we can provide a higher quality of care and ensure you have great oral health for life.

Simple, Comfortable Teeth Straightening

Our clear aligners use a fully digital process, meaning we’ll begin your treatment by taking digital impressions using our comfortable intraoral scanner. You won’t have to endure messy, gag-inducing impressions! Using these precise impressions, your series of clear aligners will be custom-made to fit comfortably over your teeth and along your gum line. When worn for 20-22 hours each day and replaced with the next aligner in the series every two weeks, your teeth will gently and efficiently move into place. Along with being virtually invisible, these clear aligners are also removable, so they won’t hinder your daily life.

Good Candidates

You are a good candidate for aligners if you have generally crooked teeth, an over or underbite, a crossbite, open bite, spaces between your teeth, or crowded teeth. If you’ve ever had a desire for straighter teeth then you’d be a great candidate.

Why Our Patients Love It

Using aligners to straighten your teeth in Poolesville and Rockville, MD provides many significant benefits. Our clear aligners are removable and allow you to maintain your normal brushing and flossing routine without additional maintenance. Removable aligners also mean you can continue to eat your normal diet without fearing you’ll snap a wire or pop off a bracket, as is common with braces. Additionally, the discrete nature of the aligners make it a great choice for active, social, or professional individuals who don’t want the inconvenience or unsightliness of traditional orthodontic treatment.

Many dental insurances will cover aligners just as they do braces, and we can help you maximize these benefits. For additional assistance paying for treatment, or if you don’t have insurance, we offer CareCredit® dental financing or Proceed financing. These options allow you to pay for your treatment over a select number of months (sometimes with zero interest) instead of all at once at the start of your treatment. Our caring team is here to help you in any situation, so you can get the smile you desire.
